The quickest easiest granola recipe ever: put 4 cups oats in microwave safe dish. Add 1/4 cup coconut oil. Microwave for 2 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir. Add 1/3 cup honey, 1 tsp vanilla, and 1/2 tbsp cinnamon. Return dish to microwave for 2 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir. Done! These are approximate measurements, I just eyeball it. You could also mix in nuts/seeds/dried fruit, etc. I have five daughters with different tastes so we add those in per bowl.
Had delicious extra tasty fruit salad years ago and learned about sprinkling dry instant vanilla pudding powder on and gently stirring it in. For a few cups of fruit I'd use maybe 1/3 of a small box of pudding. It thickens it some and gives a.little extra flavor.
Take your meatballs and smokies and put in crock pot with one or two jars Chile sauce and half jar grape jelly and put on low to cook great appetizer. You can also add half jar pasta sauce
Your charcuterie board belongs on the cover of a gourmet cooking magazine! Beautiful, and so appetizing! Hope your Thanksgiving is filled with the blessing of love and laughter
We make peanut butter balls as well! Even in Chicago 😊 The only difference is we cover them completely in chocolate and add rice krispie cereal to the peanut butter mixture to create another layer of texture when you bite into them. Before I got married and lived at home my mom and I would bake every Christmas. We would make around 25-30 different varieties of cookies/bars/pies/cakes/etc. at about 50-100 cookies for each and would start a couple days before Christmas Eve. The oven would be running for three to four days straight and it was always a lot of work but super fun and we would have a plate full give to all the neighbors, family, our church, the hospital staff, etc. (my dad and husband are doctors) and everyone always looked forward to them every year. I kind of miss doing that now that I am married and live three hours away from family, but my mom still keeps it up with my younger sister and I bake a few on my end so we can share when we have a chance to see each other at some point during the holiday season! Though this year may be a bit different since I am 38.5 weeks pregnant 🤰🏻 ha! But hoping to still get some baking in at some point once baby comes to keep the tradition alive🤞🏻
Your channel is so usefull for me! I'm christian too and I try to learn English. I think your family had a great treat! I'm going to taste your recipes for the next time. With love from Ukraine.🥰
I haven't made buckeyes in years. I think this will be a fun thing for my granddaughter, Madeline and me to try for our holiday baking! Everything looked delicious. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I haven't had a chance to watch your most recent videos yet, as I'm in Sarasota visiting my in-laws for Thanksgiving. However, I wanted to say that because of your recommendation, we got pizza from Joey D's the other day and it was DELICIOUS!!! It's a new must visit. Thank you!!!
For an easy "fancy" pork chop, I made Stove Top stuffing then using a large ice cream scoop, put a scoop of the cooked stuffing on top of the pork chops then bake them in the oven for about 35 - 40 minuted on 350 degrees. I've served this many times when "company" comes for supper and everyone thinks it's "fancy" and it must have taken a lot of time......our secret that it's sooooo easy LOL Those buckeyes look so good! (I'm from Ohio too, but now live in Florida.)
Great looking treats. One year for Christmas, very much to the chagrin of the men, we had appetizers and stuff like hot chicken salad. We probably ate more that year because you nibble ALL DAY LONG. I liked it because EVERYTHING was prepared beforehand and we got to sit together and visit ALL DAY LONG.😊
I have those same pjs . My husband loves cottage cheese and pineapple together although he prefers me to buy the cottage cheese and pineapples separate, he also likes to put strawberry jelly too. Something new you might want to try is-vanilla yogurt, add peaches and bananas and stir in cool whip. it is wonderful, the cool whip makes is light and fluffy...any fruit will do.. I like the cheese board selection..
I make a beautiful fruit salad that I call my Christmas fruit salad. What I put on the fruit is a mix of honey lime juice and pineapple juice. It turns out really well that way. :-)
Here's a little trick I do if I need to cool something down, but don't have room in the fridge. I get a pan that's larger than the one I want to cool. In this case, a skillet would work. I place the smaller pan into the larger pan, then I put water & lots of ice. This method really cools things quickly. Just be careful you don't splash any water into the food you're cooling. Depending on what your food is, it may ruin it, especially something like chocolate. This also words really well for beverages too, if you realize at the last minute you want something chilled.
Hi Lynette, I’m also from ohio and yes cheese balls are a thing here. Lol we have them for every holiday. Believe it or not I haven’t made the Buckeyes yet but think I will this Christmas, seems easy. We have started decorating things here and there but this weekend we will probably finish up. Your snack board looked so pretty bet it was really good. So close to baby girls arrival cannot wait to see pics. Good luck to you. See you in the next one!
I make charcuterie boards for Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. We love them. Also I make the fruit salad and of course because I am from Ohio the Buckeyes. It wouldn't be Christmas without the buckeyes. lol. We are going against tradition this year and since it will just be the two of us we will be having enchiladas and guacamole for Thanksgiving. Neither one of us really liked turkey so it will be nice to go against tradition. ❤️Blessings and a Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.
😄 👍🏽👍🏽 Nic wouldn’t hear of that! 🤪 he’s all about the tradition of turkey and mashed potatoes, dressing, date pudding etc. 😄 which I like that all myself too. It thankfully my friend Hannah is hosting us and I am only helping with some of the food!
I LOVE buckeyes!! There is a bulk food store near me which sells mini buckeyes. Every now and then I pick some up and hide them in the fridge. Lol. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Lynette!!
Hey sweet lady. Watched your trip to Waco, TX. Just brought to mind that you are the Mennonite version of Joanna Gaines. 😊 Love your videos. Loved the food you made in this video.
All of the food looks so delicious; made me hungry. I agree your Charcuterie board looked like a professional chef put it together. Blessings to you and your family on Thanksgiving.
I’m tired from watching you do all that cooking! It all looks so delicious. Those yummy buckeyes are a favorite here, O-H... Loved your video, Lynette. 🙌🏻❤️
Thanks for sharing your recipes! You look wonderful and I can certainly understand why you want to tie up loose ends and rest a bit before your precious one arrives💕
Look forward to your videos. I love your imagination and not being afraid to attempt something new. Everything looks great. Hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving.
I just came across your channel Lynette what a breath of fresh air I've learned so much from you just in a few videos.. I am a subscriber you have a blessed day may god keep giving you ideas for videos . You keep making them I will be a watching them..
Everything looks soooo yummy! 🙂🍎🧀🥓🍇🍌🥝🍫🥜 I will be trying these recipes for Christmas time! Thanks for sharing!!! ❤️💚🎄I’ve had Buckeyes before, but only from Cracker Barrel Restaurants, LoL. They’re good, but not like homemade would be!
We call them buckeye balls in the south as well! I make these every Christmas for my hubby's co-workers and employees. You are in the home stretch with the baby, you deserve a bit of down time.
I am excited to make more effort now with the Cheese Board as we call it in NZ . I have my 65th Birthday in late January, so this is definitely going on my menu. Thankyou for showing us such delicious but simple ideas. Bless, Diana
Oh my, baby girl is only a month away, so exciting. Your sweater looks beautiful on you. I have never attempted a charcuterie board, if mine turns out half of good as yours, I will be more than pleased.
I always enjoy your cooking videos Lyn. Love the glaze for the fruit salad. I am doing snacks here at my home on Thursday night and I will use your board idea...great way to serve . Looks so festive.
Happy Blessed Thanksgiving! I just made fresh fruit salad and used your glaze recipe Lynette. It turned out wonderful.The final testing will be this afternoon with my children and grandchildren at my son's home.All nine of my grandchildren love fruit.I will be trying your cheese ball recipe for our Christmas party.Thank you for sharing your recipes. Have a awesome blessed day in sunny Florida.It is very windy here in Pa.lastnite and today.
Really enjoyed this! I love making cheese trays for our holiday parties...always a big hit! I also make the buckeyes every year but we call them Reece Balls. To dip them in; In a double boiler, I melt one 12oz bag semi sweet chocolate morsels and 1/3 block of paraffin. Comes out great every time! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Thanks for sharing these recipes. I love fruit salad and I had never heard of the thicken juices before for the fruit. I will definitely be trying that. Thanks so much for sharing, I really do appreciate it. Have a Blessed day and a Happy Thanksgiving.

you are such a talented young woman. I haven't seen anything you can't do. Proud of you
Everything looked awesome but the chatuterie board looked beautiful.. Thanks Lynette.
A fun twist on your Buckeyes is to squeeze the peanut butter balls between 2 square snap pretzels then dip half in chocolate.
Yup in the buckeye state and they look amd taste amazing. I try and make buckeyes every year! Use a fork when dipping the buckeyes so much easier.
Your channel is so usefull for me! I'm christian too and I try to learn English. I think your family had a great treat! I'm going to taste your recipes for the next time. With love from Ukraine.🥰

I am a Buckeye living in N. Carolina. I make buckeyes every year for the holidays. Can't wait for the big game tomorrow. O-H
Being a fellow “Buckeye”, no holiday is complete without the buckeye candy!😋❤️
Beautiful charcuterie board. That fruit salad looked yummy, will have to try it. God Bless.
I line a bowl with saran wrap then pack my cheese ball ingredients in it to make a bowl shape...sometimes I use a square bowl.
That fruit bowl looks so delicious. It should be a hit.
Great looking treats. One year for Christmas, very much to the chagrin of the men, we had appetizers and stuff like hot chicken salad. We probably ate more that year because you nibble ALL DAY LONG. I liked it because EVERYTHING was prepared beforehand and we got to sit together and visit ALL DAY LONG.😊
This sounds like a great idea! I'm going to have to implement something like this for one of our gatherings.
My mother in law makes buckeyes, we are from northern Missouri. Loved the Christmas music in the background.
Buckeyes are my favorite dessert, along with petit fors!
I have those same pjs . My husband loves cottage cheese and pineapple together although he prefers me to buy the cottage cheese and pineapples separate, he also likes to put strawberry jelly too.

I’m going to make the fruit salad and the charcuterie board - they are so pretty.
I’m from Ohio and if you can’t make a Buckeye - we boot you out of the state!
So fun to watch this!! food looked so pretty!!
We love buckeyes we use what they call almond bark milk chocolate but white is good too. Everything looked delicious. And your sweater is so pretty
I make a beautiful fruit salad that I call my Christmas fruit salad. What I put on the fruit is a mix of honey lime juice and pineapple juice. It turns out really well that way. :-)
Great video! I can’t believe you’re having a baby in like 6 weeks! You look amazing!!!!!!
Thanks for the delish recipes. Who doesn't like Buckeyes? They're fabulous! Happy Thanksgiving💖🦃🦃💖
I love fruit salad. This is a little different than make mine. Can’t wait to try this recipe. ♥️
Great video Lynette. You looked wonderful and the food looked delicious. I never even thought of putting a glaze on a fruit salad.

I saw those buckeyes when the video first started! I was born in Ohio and many family members live there. I grew up in Michigan though- GO BLUE
🤪 oh my. Well I’d have to disagree there 😂 GO BUCKS! This Saturday.....! 😁😁
